Hi
I have a Sky-Watcher EQ5 Delux mount with dual axis enhanced motor drive, which is not a go-to, so the mount is set as simulated, I wanted to do plate solving then manually move the mount to find my target, but I am not sure how to set up the simulated mount so plate solving will work, I have been roughly pointing at the target and taking a image in the plate solving tab, but it fails, there is a red message that there is an error of about 190 degrees, in Kstars the pointer is near Polaris, do I need to alter the mount position somehow so it is nearer my target
Thanks
Robert
